"Everything to Everyone" kicked off Everclear's So Much for the Afterglow in 1997 as the album's first single, and it's a bright, bouncy blast of alt-rock with a hook that snaps shut like a trap. Art Alexakis wrote the words and produced it, with Neal Avron co-producing and recording, and he shares the music credit with Greg Eklund and Craig Montoya. Andy Wallace mixed it, and every riff comes out polished and punchy.
It went all the way to number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks in December 1997 and to number 15 on Mainstream Rock. The chart rules of the day kept it off the Hot 100 proper, though it reached number 43 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. It turned up in the movie American Pie, too, even though it never made the soundtrack album.
